Staff ask parents to record children's achievements at home and share them on the electronic system. Staff inspire children to develop their early literacy skills. Children are inspired to initiate imaginative play, and re-enact familiar stories. They make a jungle for the wild animals to play in using play dough and other creative resources. Staff skilfully promote communication and language skills well. They give children every opportunity to express and explore new words and sounds. At circle time they sing traditional songs using sign language and link sounds to the letters they represent.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave extremely well and swiftly rise to staff's high expectations. The highly effective behaviour management strategies support children to develop their self-esteem and confidence. Staff skilfully reinforce the 'nursery rules' in ways that children understand. They sensitively ask children about their personal care needs without interrupting their play and learning. Children feel valued, listened to and learn to respect others. For example, they vote on what snack they would like to eat and make choices about what resources they want to play with. Children's physical health and emotional well-being benefit greatly from the opportunity to learn in the open air with a range of natural materials, and outdoor experiences. Staff constantly celebrate children's interests and make them feel extremely proud of their achievements.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

All children make sustained progress consistently in all areas of learning. Children are exceptionally inquisitive and relish exploring. Children are motivated learners. They remain engrossed and engaged in purposeful activities for incredibly long periods of time. For example, they play imaginatively in the role-play shoe shop, trying on shoes and listening to the sound they make while they walk around. Children develop an interest in mathematical concepts as they play with coins counting and recognising numbers. Children are superbly well prepared to develop the skills for future learning and move on to school.
